Romantic Comedies for Rosie Blake

June 2015

We’re thrilled to announce that Rosie Blake has signed with Corvus for two new romantic comedies, and her backlist title How to Get a (Love) Life.

The first book of the deal, How to Stuff up Christmas, will be published in November this year, and sees the heroine, Eve, turning to cooking during the festive period to try and put a relationship behind her. The second book, to be published in July 2016, is How to Find your (First) Husband, which sees a woman trying to find the boy she married in a playground ceremony as a child, fearing he may be the one who got away.

Corvus will also republish How to Get a (Love) Life, Rosie’s first novel, previously published by Novelicious.

Louise Cullen, the acquiring editor, said: "Her first novel is an excellent example of young, smart women’s fiction and shows the talent Rosie has for comedy writing and memorable heroines. A Christmas novel is the perfect next step to bring her to a wider audience and How to Find Your (First) Husband is a masterclass in romantic comedy."

Congratulations Rosie!

How To Get A (Love) Life: The Launch

January 2014

On Wednesday night, Clare, Mary, Emma, Vicki, Camilla, Keshini and Sheila attended the fantastic launch party of Rosie Blake’s debut novel, How to Get a (Love) Life.

Set in the opulent and quirky surroundings of Bar Soho in London, the DA team were welcomed with cocktails, posters and postcards with hilarious quotes from Rosie’s book. The room was packed with familiar faces from the publishing industry and lots of bloggers from the online community.

Rosie gave a wonderfully funny speech in which she thanked her editor, Kirsty, and the team at Novelicious. She also thanked her agent, Clare, and the rest of the Darley Anderson Agency. The celebration was a roaring success – we know Rosie’s book will be one too!

Rosie’s book is out now and available here. She is already no.16 on the Amazon Bestseller list in Love, Sex and Marriage humour!
